All the retailers Nintendo Switch 2 is still available to order online
Tech fans have waited eight years for an update on the original Nintendo Switch Console.
Gaming fans will be over the moon today as the highly-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 has finally launched. While some shoppers are waiting for their pre-order device to come in the post, many fans said they struggled to snap up a console before they sold out.
Now that launch day is here, many online retailers have put the handheld device back in stock. However, shoppers will need to be quick as they are running on a 'first come, first served' basis.
In terms of an upgrade from the original console, the Switch 2 features a larger screen, new games, better frame rates and other new features. Shoppers have the choice of either buying the Nintendo Switch 2 Console by itself for £395.99 or paying a bit more to get the Mario Kart World Bundle for £429.99.
Many people enjoy the Switch device because of its versatility. Shoppers can either place the display screen in its docking device and play their game through their TV for a family gaming experience, or attach the Joy-Con controllers to the sides and play as a handheld device.
Some of the new games that shoppers can buy include Donkey Kong Bananza, Street Fighter 6, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild in Switch 2 editions and Super Mario Party Jamboree.
In terms of in store sales, Asda is said to be selling the new device with the exclusive Mario Kart World game included in 80 of its shops across the UK - nine of which are in Scotland.
If Scots wanted to grab the popular device at the shops to start game play straight away, they would need to go to either the Asda Living Glasgow Fort, Bridge of Dee, Clydebank, Edinburgh, Galashiels, Hamilton, Milton of Craigie, Motherwell or Toryglen stores.
For those who are happy to order online and wait a day or two for the console to arrive, many online retailers have restocked the device, including:
Amazon
Argos
Currys
EE
Very
Amazon
The Nintendo Switch 2 has already been dubbed one of Amazon's best sellers despite only selling as pre-order before June 5. At the time of writing the console has been bought by over 2,000 shoppers, whereas the Bundle deal has been snatched up by over 5,000 people.
The joy with Amazon is that shoppers can get next day delivery. So if shoppers order today they will be able to set up the device tomorrow and enjoy a whole weekend of gaming.

Argos
Over on Argos, while the console and bundle deal remains the same price, the retailer has a range of cracking deals for shoppers to snap up along with the console. For example, when gamers buy either product, they can save 20 per cent on one of the selected Switch 2 games.
Other deals include saving 30 per cent on a Joy-Con charging station or 20 per cent on the official Nintendo Switch 2 carrying case and screen protector. All of these deals can be found in the special offers section of the purchase pages. It should be noted, however, that these extra deals are only available until June 18.

Currys
Currys is giving shoppers the option to break down the cost of the device through their flexpay scheme. For those wanting the normal console, shoppers can pay as much or as little as they like for six months, with the full payment needing to be settled on December 5. This method includes no interest.
Shoppers also have the choice to pay only £16 per month on the console for 36 months. However, in the long run this offer will mean shoppers need to pay more as the total amount would end up being £576 by the end of the contract.
Unfortunately, the Mario Kart World bundle was not available on Currys at the time of writing. However, the retailer is selling the console along with game Split Fiction and a microSD Express Memory Card (256 GB) in a bundle deal for £486.

EE
Another provider allowing shoppers to break down the cost is EE. Gamers can get the Mario Kart Bundle deal for £22 per month for 24 months, with an upfront cost of £20.
This deal also comes with a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership and 24-month EE Gamer's and Video Data Passes.

Very
Very is also selling the Nintendo Switch 2, but shoppers will need to be quick as the retailer is already noting that stock is selling fast. It should also be noted, however, that shoppers will need to wait a bit longer to receive their device through Very as they are still doing a pre-order service - delivery is set for June 13.
